Looking for His Lily.

Not so very many days ago couple
newly married-stopped at the Ryan for
the night. They hailed from somewhere
in the valley of the Red river district,
and had money enough to make small
ripple in The city. The bride retired
early, but the groom, still feeling his oats,
went out to see the town. he visited a
number of the prominent resorts, and
about midnight found himself in the
hotel elevator. Calmly transfxiDg the

"My boy.iah, swhere's my bridesh ?

How a Woman Keeps a Secret.

1t is an old quip upon women that
they cannot keep secret; but the fact
is they are the only part of humanity
that can. A wife keeps husbands
secret incompsrably safer than he does
hers. We calculate that there is one
drunken wife to about four hundred and
ninety nine drunken husbands. In
gambling, licentiousness, lying, cheating,
hypocrisy, covetousness, there is pretty
much the same proportion. Yet of the
four hundred and ninety.nine wives, four
hundred conceal, cover up, silently en-.
dure the terrible secret, while one hus-
band mourns over his wife's frailty in the
study of his pastor, and to the ear Of his
friend, and probably complains of it to q
court of law. 1t is the same between
brother and sister. The secrets woman
talks about are of the kind that are un.
important and mostly agreeable to hear.
But of serious secrets she is as reticent as
the grave. That is our observation, and
in our various relations of physician,
minister and unordained lawyer, we have
had room for a great deal Of observation.

Conference of Latter Day Saints.

CLEVELAND, April 17.-There was
large attendance of outsiders at the Con-
ference of Latter Day Saints in Kirkland
to-day, the attraction being the sermon
by President Joseph Smith against the
Mormon doctrine Of polygamy. Mr..
Smith began his sermon by the emphatic
declaration
have no belief in this philosophy of
polygamy. We ought to take it for
granted that God knew what he was
about when he created the world. When
the earth was ready for man God placed
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
If he had intended two wives for Adam
he would have given them to him. Now
there came time when it was necessary
to begin populating the earth over again.
Men and women had sinned, and God
wished to crush wickedness out of the
world. Ifhe had made a mistake at the
creation in giving Adam but one wife,
here was grand opportunity to reverse
the order of things and give Noah two
wives. Did God do so? No. he com.
manded Noah to take one wife and his
servants one wife. But God had another
opportunity to correct the mistake if one
had been made. When he led Levi and
his wife out of the land of Judea. If
God had desired to reverse his judgment
in giving Noah buta single wife he could
have put himself right. But he did not
do it. I take these three great events as
proof positive, unanswerable, and over
whelming that God intended man to
have but one wife.
The speaker went on to say that tho
Latter Day Saints stood committed to
the doctrine of single marriages. Further
proof of the error of polygamy, he said,
was found in the twenty third and twen-
ty.fourth verses of the second chapter of
Genesis.

Puzzle it Out. If You Can.

"I have been very much bothered late
ly," said horse dealer to a reporter,
with a question arising out of deal
which has been to me source of greater
annoyance than the sixteen puzzle. I
sold horse to B. for $50. In few days
he came back with the horse, and re-.
purchased the animal for $40. then
Immediately resold him for S65. The
question is: How much did I gain or
lose on the transaction2 When bought
the horse back for SOL certainly made
$40, and when sold again for s65 I
assuredly lost IS. Now, if I gain $40
and lose s5 my net gain ia, it seems to
me, SIS. But, on the other hand, after
my first sale I had no horse and $50,
while after my second sale I had no horse
and only s75, consequently must have
lost SIS. At one time, when l think over
the matter, congratulate myself on hav-
ing pocketed "V" through sharp deal.

Wind As q Seed Carrier.

Atthe recent meeting of the scientists
at Cambridge, Alfred Russell Wallace,
the English naturalist, read a paper on
"The Winds as Seed Carrier in Rela-
ton to the Difficult Problems in Geo.
graphical Distributions" Some species
of plants common in northern climates,
many of them in the Arctic fora, have q
wide distribution in the southern hemis.
phere. There are FIVE prominent causes
of seed distribution. First, sea currents;
second, birds third, seeds of marsh plants
adhering to the feet of birds; fourth,
sticky seeds which attach themselves to
the feathers of birds; fifth, wind. The
power of the wind in transporting seeds
is not yet determined, but there is evi.
dence that it cah transport light seeds to
a great distance. Dust from the Java
eruption, few years ago, was found on
the decks ofvessels at 1000 miles distant.
Most of the r :thern plants introduced
into the south are very light seeded ones
lighter than the dust. Whether or not
wind is the agency for transporting these
seeds, these evidences 60 to show that it
at least has the power.

A Remarkable Woman.


Mrs. Shackleford, of Pleasant Hill,
Alabama, is very remarkable woman in
many respects. When she graduated at
Vassar college and returned to her home
she had an income of $4,000. She mar
ried soon after and went to California
With her husband where her fortune was
swept away from her. She accumulated
enough money by writing for papers to
return home. Soon after her father died
and then her husband, leaving bright
little boy. She then took charge of the
estate, containing $500 acres, and had
to be on the go from four o'clock in the
morning until night. She makes 100
bales of cotton and has to contend with
1856 tenants who cause her great deal of
trouble, but she has alwayS been equal
to every emergency. On the 25th Of last
January when she returned home she
found large burly negro in her house
searching for valuables. Pulling pistol
she ordered him to leave and on his re.
fusing she snapped the pistol which
ul fortunately was not loaded. He then
grasped her and cut her, with razor in
twenty.seven different places. She sank
to the floor exhausted and he left the
house. Recovering shortly afterwards,
she seized another pistol and mounted
horse, overlook him and shot him down.
The trial of. this man for cutting her is
now in progress, and she has left for New
Orleans under the advice Of her friends,
as the negro has threatened that if she
did not withdraw the charges he would
have her murdered.

The Corn was Bleeding Very Badly.

A good anecdote is told of one ofthe
present United States Senators, who Was
in the Confederate army during the war.
Being attached to an artillery company
he vas one day detailed to 60 to farm
house, some two or three miles away, TO
buy some corn for the artillery horses.
He took couple of sacks, went down
and secured the corn, paying for it the
requisite Confederate legal tender.
As he was riding back with the two
sacks of corn on his horse he noticed a
SOW and pigs, nearly half grown, near
the roadside. The sight was tempting
one, and he thrust his fingers into small
hole which was in one of the sacks and
got out some grains of corn which be
threw toward them. They came running
at once into the middle of the road and
began eating the corn. 50
The temptation was now too great for
him, and pulling out his pistol he shot
the largest and finest looking pig and
killed it. He then dismounted from his
horse and took up the pig, but being
afraid to ride into camp withit, he stop.
ped to consider what was the best method
of procedure. Il
Arriving at a conclusion, he took some
of the corn as we'll as he could from one
of the sacks and put it into the other,
both sacks being not very full, and in
the empty space in the other suck he then
crammed the pig, and tied the sack up
again. 9ss @ 2ss2eens
Riding down the road, when nearjthe
camp, he met the commanding. officer,
who looked rather suspiciously aththe
corn sacks, and then asked him where
he had been. isoe.3 PIC u
He stated that he had been to farm.
house, according to orders, and had
bought some corn for the artillery horses.
The officer then said: liz 9iqe4g -
"Haye you nothing elsein the sack ex.
cept corn ?"it = ag.1 i.j Il
The artilleryman gave an evasive an.
swer and said that he had no other grain
except corn in the sacks. II .
The officer then remarked to him:
"We]l, your corn is bleeding badly" and
then without waiting for answer from the
embarrassed subaltern rode rapidly off.
The latter proceeded to camp, took out
his pig, and then turned the corn over to
the proper authorities. he reported to
the boys how he had been caught up
with, and they held council and deter.
mined that the best thing to do was to
send the officer portion of the meat.
They accordingly cut off one Of the
headquarters Of the pig and sent it up
to their commander, "with the compli.
ments of the lady" who had generously
sent it to the soldiers.
The officer accepted the gift; but told
the messenger to say to the psrty who
had brought it into camp, that he did not
want the lady to send him any more
presents after just that same manner.

Reform Needed in the Kitchen.

At this season of the year people will
begin to have all sorts of ailments. One
will feel "out of sorts" when be gets up
in the morning, and another will feel a
'little fainty". about ten or eleven o'clock,
while third one will have ga no count
sort of feeling" for several weeks. These
are not fancied diseases but are real
weaknesses. Where there are no heredi.
tary diseases, the most of the sickness in
this climate is caused by improper eating
and sleeping. When the warm days
begin to come, one is apt to keep up his
winter habits of eating. Strong, rich
food or fried meats are used in considera-
BILE quantity aud washed down with
quarts of strong coffee. Perhaps the
easiest and cheapest meal to prepare is
50 fried dinner" with a steaming pot Of
coffee, and it is just such diet, three times
a day, that causes all these spring COM
plants. The human stomach needs fill
ing with something 30 that digestion
may go on we'll and the person feel COM
Portable at the same time. When the
hands come in from the field at noon,
tired and hungry, they make rush for
the table. If they have to "fill up" on
fried, greasy messes, even the active life
and out door exercise will not long with.
stand such living. The children are
exactly right at this season of the year
when they refuse table food and almost
break their necks for the first fruits that
come. They do not stop to reason, but
act from instinct, which never errs.
During the last three years of the war
the soldiers were remarkably healthy,
and they got only half enough to eat;
that is about half the amount they could
have consumed. The lesson for house.
keepers is that there is no danger of
starving the family, however hard they
may have to work, provided they can
serve one good square meal a day. At
this season of the year good vegetable
soups and brotbs should be prepared.
OF course there is no market in reach of
country homes where fresh soup bones
may be obtained, but the ingenious cook
can make good soup from a. piece OF
bacon or the remnants of ham or shoul.
der. With the addition of a little rice,
beans or peas, or all mixed, very pala.
table soup can be made. Good bread
with plenty of milk and butter, and less
meat and rich foods, will keep the ordi-
nary spring and summer complaints out
of the family. Another great mistake
some people make when they find they
are getting in weak condition. They
think they do not-eat enough, and they
go to work and take some tonic, or alco.
holic stimulant, to get up an appetite.
This is worse than fried bacon and hot
coffee. What one-half of the ailing ren
and women need at this season of the
year is two weeks fast. The appetite
will then return all right and the health
will be improved. In all of our homes
in the country there is room for improve
ment in the kitchen. The men will not
inaugurate this reform. The women will
have it to do. What is needed now is
brains in the kitchen as we'll as in the
| field -,Snnrtnnb,tr1 Hnnrf1n.

The School Commissioner and Board

The School Commissioner and Board
of Examiners of Pickens have accepted
the proposition to unite with Anderson
and Greenville in joint institute at
Williamson. Laurens is yet to be heard
from. The Commissioners have secured
the services of three able and experienced
instructors and are corresponding with
the fourth. Every possible effort will be
made to make the occasion profitable
and pleasant. Every teacher in the
county is expected to attend. He owes
it to himself, to his pupils, to his profes-
sion and to the great cause of education.
DR.. Lander informs me that several
teachers have already notified hi m of
their purpose to attend and engaged
board. It would be we'll for all to en-
gage board as soon as practicable, that
there may be as little friction as possible
at the, beginning Of the session. The
citizens Of Williamson are preparing to
make it pleasant for us all. Col. Rice
will favor the Institute With his presence,
and will, no doubt, contribute not little
to its success. Col. Rice was once a
teacher himself, and is familiar with the
trials and difficulties of teachers life.
